Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named cucumberjs to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  cucumberjs: {
    options: {
      format: 'html',
      output: 'my_report.html',
      theme: 'bootstrap'
    },
    my_features: ['features/feature1.feature', 'features/feature2.feature'],
    other_features: {
      options: {
        output: 'other_report.html'
      },
      src: ['other_features/feature1.feature', 'other_features/feature2.feature']
    }
  }
});

If all your feature files are located in the default location of features/ then just leave the feature configuation as an empty array. See following:

cucumberjs: {
  options: {
    format: 'html',
    output: './public/report.html',
    theme: 'foundation'
  },
  features : []
}
